In the food world, we do our best to help the environment by reducing food waste through composting and creatively using scraps. We're also big proponents of eliminating of single-use plastic when possible, and reusable water bottles are an easy way to do just that. In order to stick with the habit, it helps to have a water bottle you love.

If keeping water cold is your primary concern, opt for a double wall insulated bottle. For something light and affordable, a BPA-free plastic bottle is the way to go. Whether you prefer a straw or a spout or an open mouth lid, there are plenty of options to find the right one for you. Read on for some of our favorites available on Amazon.

Nalgene is the OG reusable water bottle. If you’re just looking for a light water container to help you reduce your single-use plastic consumption, then this is all you need. The price point is extremely low and it gets the job done. With the wide mouth, you can fit in as much ice as you like.

For camping and hiking, a collapsible water bottle saves a lot of space and weight. These silicone water bottles roll up flawlessly and the material is extremely easy to clean. They can also be frozen so that you can have cool water for hours. This pack of two silicone water bottles is an incredible deal.

If style is your priority, peruse the many colors and patterns of the Simple Modern Wave. Its rounded edges and stainless steel, screw-on cap make for a sleek, minimalist design. Plus, it’s insulated, which means it’ll never sweat.

Contigo carries plenty of water bottle styles as well as insulated travel coffee mugs, but this version comes in 20 patterns and colors, is leakproof and will keep things cold for hours. A water bottle necessity, in our opinion.

Similar to the Hydro Flask in double wall insulation technology, the Takeya boasts a spout lid that some prefer to an open mouth. The spout makes sipping and pouring especially easy, plus the hinge lock keeps the cap out of the way while drinking. Takeya also has a carrying handle and offers plenty of colors and sizes.

For a glass water bottle, consider the Lifefactory BPA-free bottle that comes with a protective silicone sleeve. People who prefer glass water bottles tend to choose them for the clean water taste that is untouched by plastic or metal. They’re also dishwasher safe, unlike the insulated water bottles.

For an everyday water bottle, the Hydro Flask comes out on top. It never leaks, water stays super cold for up to 24 hours thanks to the double wall insulation, and the cap has a strap for comfortable and convenient holding. The same technology and design comes in a variety of sizes and colors. We’re partial to the 24-oz bottle since it requires fewer refills, but it’s also not too heavy.
